PC Means Political Control
I've two articles for your reading on this topic. Tammy Bruce, in her book The New Thought Police says that "political correctness is the principal tactic by which civil rights, feminist, and gay and lesbian organizations exercise political control." According to this Denver Post article,
that's mainly where the terms "terrorised by tolerance" and "silenced by sensitivity" come from. And I've also found a Geoff Metcalf interview with Tammy Bruce herself, so you can get a better insight into what she thinks. It's interesting stuff to be sure.
